Responsible Wildlife Stewardship

Terrapins and other reptiles need to sunbathe on a flat, warm surface to stay at the right body temperature. When a turtle climbs onto The Pond Guy Turtle Trap, the trapdoor automatically closes, safely capturing the turtle and placing it in a holding cage. This allows you to move the turtle later.

The Pond Guy Turtle Trap offers a safe and effective solution for trapping and relocating turtles in ponds, lakes, and lagoons. Predatory turtles can threaten your game fish population and disturb spawning beds. With our floating turtle trap, you can easily and humanely remove turtles from your pond.

This trap is designed to catch turtles that are sunbathing. It floats on the water’s surface and is placed in spots where turtles are often found. The trap has a warm entrance that attracts turtles, making it easy for them to enter but hard for them to get out. This specialized trap helps with relocation and conservation.

Relocate turtles safely and humanely. We provide a solution for moving turtles that eat fish, helping to keep your pond balanced. Our system is easy to assemble and can be set up in minutes. This allows for quick and safe management of local wildlife, protecting both the turtles and their environment.

This trap can hold up to 40 adult turtles, giving them plenty of space to move around. It has a strong poly-coated cage that can handle different weather conditions, which helps prevent rust and damage over time. Perfect for use in freshwater environments. Its tough design ensures it will last and work reliably.

As turtles climb to the top to sunbathe, they are safely dropped into a sturdy holding cage and cannot climb back out. Expect higher numbers when first deployed and whenever the water is cooler.

The Pond Guy Turtle Trap comes partially assembled; attach the upper frame, floats, and tilt ramps with the included hardware in just a few minutes. We recommend placing one Turtle Trap for every four to five acres of water.

When to Use

This floating turtle trap is excellent for relocating turtles from any waterbody, such as ponds or lakes. Use when turtles need relocation or if predatory turtles threaten your game fish or koi.

How many traps do I need for my pond?

We recommend using one turtle trap for every 4 to 5 acres of water. This ratio ensures adequate coverage and increases the likelihood of successfully managing turtles.

How large is the turtle trap once assembled?

Once assembled, the turtle trap measures 23”L x 25”W x 16”H. The cage arrives partially assembled and folded for convenient shipping. You must install the floats and flappers upon delivery to complete the setup.

Does The Pond Guy Turtle Trap come with mooring lines?

Yes, the Turtle Trap includes two 25-foot white mooring ropes. These ropes are designed to help securely anchor the trap, ensuring stability and proper positioning in the water during use.

How fast will I catch the turtles?

It will depend on the weather and how often turtles are inclined to bathe. Turtles are intelligent creatures, so in some instances, you may have to bait the turtles to lure them onto the trap.

Is the turtle trap easy to relocate?

Yes, our turtle trap is easy to relocate. Weighing approximately 20 pounds when empty, it’s light enough to be moved by one person. Once the mooring ropes are untied and any anchors are removed, the trap can be easily repositioned to a different area of your pond or lake. This makes it convenient to adjust placement for better coverage and trapping efficiency.
